Daxun Alloy's Pure Titanium Grade 1 Titanium Tubes Include:
Seamless titanium tubes and welded titanium tubes, both celebrated for their exceptional ductility and cold formability, making them perfect for deep drawing processes. Grade 1 titanium tubes are highly regarded for their excellent general and seawater corrosion resistance, along with outstanding resistance to oxidizing, neutral, and slightly reducing media (solutions) including chlorides.
With about half the density of nickel-based alloys, titanium offers high strength, lightweight characteristics, and superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for challenging chemical environments. Our execution standards include: ASTM B338 | ASTM B265 | ASME SB265 | ASTM F67 | ISO 5832-2 | 3.7025 | UNS R50250.
Grade 2 Titanium Tube (UNS R50400 / Werkstoff WS 3.7034)
Grade 2 Titanium Tubes are the go-to choice for industrial applications, offering an optimal balance of moderate strength and excellent ductility. Known for superior corrosion resistance in both highly oxidizing and slightly reducing conditions (including chlorides), these tubes excel in the chemical and offshore industries, aircraft manufacturing, heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, and CPI equipment.
Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly responsive to cold forming using standard techniques. While it can be easily machined, it's crucial to maintain sharp tools and apply generous amounts of coolant. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, deep and continuous cuts with slow feeds and speeds are recommended.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains an extensive inventory of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes, available in a wide range of sizes.
Weight Reduction
CP 2 Grade Titanium Tubes, with their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, are ideal for applications demanding weight reduction without compromising strength. These tubes are cold formable, exhibit good ductility, and can be welded using standard TIG and MIG processes, provided inert gas shielding is employed to prevent weld zone embrittlement.
Crystal Structure
At room temperature, ASTM B338 Grade 2 Titanium Tube showcases an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, akin to commercially pure titanium grades 1 and 3. At approximately 885°C [1625°F], it transitions to a beta (body-centered cubic) structure. This transformation temperature can be adjusted based on the type and amount of impurities or alloying additions. Alloying elements also create two distinct temperature zones: the alpha transformation zone below which the alloy is fully alpha, and the beta transformation zone above which the alloy is fully beta. Between these temperatures, both alpha and beta forms coexist. Typical alpha and beta transformation temperatures for Grade 2 Titanium are 890°C (1635°F) and 913°C (1675°F), respectively.
Grade 2 Titanium Seamless Pipe Manufacturing Process
Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 Titanium Seamless Tubes are meticulously crafted from hollow blanks via hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing processes, followed by multiple cold rolling stages. Ensuring continuous perimeters at all manufacturing stages, the production process includes: sponge titanium vacuum arc melting, ingot blanking to generate hollow blanks, cleaning, cutting and feeding, hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing, degreasing, drying, cutting, online annealing, straightening, pickling, multiple cold rolling, degreasing, drying, vacuum annealing, straightening, cutting, pickling, final inspection, marking (DAXUN), and packaging.
Grade 2 Titanium Welded Pipe Manufacturing Process
Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipe is meticulously crafted from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip through an advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. The primary production processes encompass: titanium plate uncoiling, shearing, butt welding, cleaning, pipe forming, TIG welding, eddy current testing, pre-sizing, annealing, precision reducing and sizing, straightening, eddy current testing, caliper marking, cutting, ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection, and packaging. These welded pipes undergo at least one stress relief heat treatment after forming and welding to ensure superior quality. Notably, Daxun refrains from using any filler materials during the welding process.
Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Pipe - Grade 5 Titanium TubeTitanium Alloy - (UNS R56400)
Introduction
DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 (UNS R56400) stands as the most favored titanium alloy in the market. This duplex alpha+beta titanium alloy utilizes aluminum as the alpha stabilizer and vanadium as the beta stabilizer, offering high strength and versatility. It can function efficiently at low temperatures around 800°F (427°C). ATI Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy is applicable for annealing, solution treating, and aging processes. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for compressor blades, disks, and rings for jet engines; fuselage and space capsule components; pressure vessels; *** cases; helicopter rotor hubs; fasteners; and critical forgings.
The alloy is initially melted using cutting-edge techniques such as vacuum arc (VAR), electron beam (EB), or plasma arc hearth melting (PAM). Subsequent remelting is performed in one or two vacuum arc steps to ensure the highest quality.

Weldability The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube, boasts excellent weldability whether in the annealed state or during solution and partial aging conditions.
Post-weld heat treatment further enhances aging. To maintain integrity, precautions against oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen contamination are essential. Fusion welding should be performed in an inert gas-filled chamber or with an inert gas tail shield over the molten metal and adjacent hot zones. Techniques such as spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding can be executed without a protective atmosphere.
Special Considerations Attention to detail is crucial when handling the DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube. Hydrogen contamination can occur from improper pickling, as well as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon absorption during forging, heat treating, or brazing. Such contamination may impair ductility, notch sensitivity, and formability, demanding careful management to maintain the material's superior qualities.
